192  New  York  College  of  Pharmacy.  {AmASimarm' 
from  the  very  beginning  they  have  striven  for  the  very  highest 
standard  of  honorable  scholarship  in  pharmacy — they  have  always 
striven  to  raise  the  standard.  The  Philadelphia  College  and  the 
New  York  College  have  taken  the  very  first  rank  in  pharmaceutical 
education  in  this  country,  and  it  is  to  our  credit,  for  we  may  say  it, 
and  to  our  honor,  that  Columbia  University  has  recognized  this  fact. 
We  can  be  very  sure  that  no  such  suggestion,  no  such  invitation, 
would  have  come  from  them  if  they  had  not  investigated  and  recog- 
nized the  quality  of  instruction  and  the  high  standard  held  by  this 
College." 
After  pointing  out  some  of  the  advantages  which  the  students  of 
the  College  would  enjoy  as  undergraduates  of  Columbia,  the  Chair- 
man said  :  "  The  negotiations  have  been  rather  protracted,  because 
there  were  a  great  many  minor  points  to  be  adjusted.  It  seemed  at 
first  glance  that  it  would  not  be  possible  because  our  standard  of 
admission  was  not  the  same  as  for  admission  to  Columbia,  and  be- 
cause the  courses  and  diploma  were  not  the  same.  But  your  com- 
mittee has  had  many  conferences  and  many  meetings.  The  men 
whom  you  must  thank  for  bringing  it  to  a  successful  close,  the  ones 
who  have  given  it  the  greatest  time  and  advice,  are  President 
Chandler,  Secretary  Main,  Treasurer  Bigelow  and  Professor  Rusby, 
of  the  Faculty.  They  have  been  constant  in  furthering  these  nego- 
tiations and  in  giving  of  their  time  and  their  experience  to  help." 
Thomas  F.  Main,  Secretary  oi  the  College,  was  then  asked  to  read 
the  agreement  proposed,  which  was  as  follows : 
This  Agreement,  made  the  day  of  ,  one  thousand  nine

For  the  purpose  of  securing  to  the  students  of  the  above-named  University
